Start by shredding the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the celery into small pieces and halve the grapes. Add both the celery and grapes to the mixing bowl with the chicken.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the bowl along with the chopped walnuts.
In a separate small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Pour the mayonnaise dressing over the chicken mixture. Season with salt and black pepper, then mix everything until evenly combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
Slice each gluten-free croissant horizontally without cutting all the way through to create a pocket.
Gently place a lettuce leaf inside each croissant, then generously fill with the chicken salad mixture.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to an hour if you prefer a cold sandwich.
